Sometimes you must close the adoration chapel for several hours (e.g., cleaning, funeral, Holy Week).
Here's a guide for the steps involved and other considerations.
Step 1: Close Hours on the Schedule
First, close one or multiple hours on the Schedule page. We recommend the following steps:
- Click Edit Schedule, select the range of hours you want to close, and click Edit Selected Hours.
- Select These dates, click the Availability checkbox, and select Closed.
- Click the Title checkbox and enter a reason why the hours are closed.
- Click Save to close the hours.
Step 2: Send a Bulk Message
After closing the hours, you will see the list of affected adorers. We recommend notifying them that adoration is closed by sending a bulk message.
Additional Considerations
When you close adoration in We Adore Him, several things are affected:
- These hours are displayed as unavailable on the schedule, with the hour's title explaining why. Adorers cannot sign up for adoration on closed hours.
- Existing commitments remain on closed hours, but no commitment reminders are sent, and visits are not automatically created.
- Existing substitute requests for these hours are paused. You can cancel them if you like.
- The Adoration Check-in Kiosk will not display the adorer names to check in for these hours.
- The commitment date will appear as "unavailable" on the adorer's dashboard.
